It's Day 994 of #Russia's all-out invasion and war-crime-spree in #Ukraine.

Every single day (not a single day off), I've been here compiling daily threads with all the important news, fact checked and analysed in one place.

Thanks for joining me on the ride. Let's go!
For the first time in 73 days #Russia had a combined missile and drone attack overnight.

All the details coming up, but first the link to the start of Tuesday's thread for those still catching up with #Ukraine news.

I'll begin the new stories though with breaking news from occupied #Crimea.

Another car bomb attack has killed a prominent invader.

In #Sevastopol, it's reported a captain of the 1st rank of the Black Sea Fleet died when an IED exploded.
#RussiansGOHOME #CrimeaIsUkraine

Authorities in #Ukraine says this morning's attack by #Russia "was not massive" with the belief a bigger attack will follow.

The combined attack used cruise missiles, ballistics (incl #NorthKorea missiles), as well as drones said a spokesman.

These photos from #Kyiv region. Image

Image
Image
So, #Russia attacked with:
2x S-300 missiles
2x Kh-101
2x ballistic (likely NorthKorean)
#Ukraine air defence could not stop the S300s but downed the other missiles.
Of 90 drones:
37 shot down
47 stopped EW
2 flew to #Belarus/Russia
2 still fly
2 hit/landed in Ukraine. Image
In #Kyiv some damage was caused by debris.

Here a drone was shot down, and a fire broke out.
Within the last hour, #Ukraine's Prime Minister has announced another big cash injection from the United States.

Denys Shmyhal says the $1.35bn will go to support humanitarian and social programs Image
SkyNews gives an insight into the life of #Ukraine's Air Defenders near the border with #Russia.

Each night they try to stop the drones before they hit elsewhere in the country.

The last 3 days have seen the 3 highest days of deaths & seriously wounded of #Russia's invaders in the war

Another 1,770 casualties in the last 24 hours, joint second most, matching Monday's figure.

A big rise in hardware losses recently too; 24 tanks is the highest for weeks Image
#Russia tells its public it is in control of inflation (figures likely invented) while interest rates keep heading up (now 21%).

Printing money is officially illegal in🇷🇺 but is now being advised.
In a depression it can help, but for RU it will cause rampant inflation. Image
#RussiaIsCollapsing

More proof now of the aviation crisis for #Russia with over 30 airlines in danger of collapse, and this is even reported by state approved media.

Izvestia reports they cannot afford leasing costs of western planes. They carry 26% of all air passengers. Image

Ten soldiers have fled a military camp in #Russia

Authorities claim some have already been detained after leaving the unit in the Kochenyovsky District of #Novosibirsk Region last night.

#StopRussia Image

Double-hit in #Kharkiv.

One of #Russia's drones hit near a shopping centre, the other an apartment block.
Four people are known to be injured so far.

Someone filmed one of the drones before it hit the city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia is so f**ked up with its revisionism and brainwashing.

Now the Fascist State portrays Stalin as some sort of saint😳

This a guy who banned religion and is one of, if not THE biggest killer in history. Way more than Hitler.

It shows the church is a branch of the FSB. Image
I reported earlier two drones flew to #Russia and #Belarus, but Gayun, the monitoring service for the latter, registered at last 12 UAVs flying into their territory, with at least two likely to have crashed.

This time Lukashenko's lot sent out air defence jets.Image
Image
It looks like #Ukraine has hit another oil depot inside #Russia

Locals in #Penza witnessed drones hitting the Utyos Rosrezervu oil storage facility.

#StopRussia
In UK parliament, the LibDem leader has raised the issue of Trump Jr's appalling post mocking #Ukraine.

@EdwardJDavey has called for the PM to use #Russia's seized assets, and not just the interest, to ensure Kyiv remains fully funded.
@Keir_Starmer was non-committal in reply😡
Down another 50 followers here and up another 350 where the skies are blue.

#Ukraine's Intel puts out a glorious quote after killing
#Russia's Captain 1st Rank Valeriy Trankovsky in occupied #Crimea.

The war criminal was responsible for firing Kaliber missiles at #Vinnytsia in July 2022, killing 29 civilians.
He also struck #Odesa and other cities. Image

Image
New photos from #Kharkiv after the latest drone attacks and a good analysis

New smaller drones, with minimal metal, which don't show up on radars, are being used by #Russia to attack the city.

Earlier in the 🧵 I reported about soldiers on the run in #Novosibirsk.

Police now say 12 escaped, but 7 have been recaptured.

It seems before they fled, the guys tried to destroy their barracks.

🎥Baza subs: @wartranslated
A look now at the flooded area around the #Kurakhivsky reservoir dam.

20m cubic meters of water were released according to #Donetsk Governor Vadim Filashkin. He says there's no threat of flooding for villages on the Volchya River, but all children have been evacuated.
In #Kyiv, the filming location for #Ukraine's version of Masterchef was damaged in the morning attack by #Russia.

The main canopy was destroyed.
Image
Image
In occupied #Crimea two people have been seriously injured after a bridge collapsed - no, NOT that one!

This was on the #Dzhankoy-#Maslovo road.
A car and a truck fell through after what's described as a "spontaneous collapse" on the illegally annexed peninsula.Image
A drone has hit a house in the border region of #Chernihiv.
The resulting fire was extinguished by firefighters an no-one was injured.

Earlier, #Russia also struck an industrial facility in #Myrhorod in the #Poltava region with drones. Image
Fact Check:
Slava Ukraini = Glory to Ukraine
Slava Natsii = Glory to the Nation

FYI:
Glory to Nazis = Slava natsystam

It's the same in Russian + Ukrainian language by the way, so disinfo agents like this guy know they are spreading fake news.

#Germany will hand over the sixth of the planned IRIS-T air defence systems to Ukraine by the end of 2024.

President Zelenskyi made the announcement today after a conversation with Chancellor Scholz.
Still no Taurus!
This afternoon #Russia surged through no man's land to reach almost the centre of #Kupiansk.

DeepState published the video of the incursion, by two columns of vehicles, into the town in #Kharkiv.

One armoured vehicle was only stopped in the town itself and a tank was also hit.
#Russia seems to be relying on film props to continue its' invasion of #Ukraine.

The "Mosfilm" studio states it has handed over armoured vehicles and tanks, up to 65 years old, to Putin's army. 36 tanks and even 8 tractors were hauled from warehouses to assist the war effort. Image
A Chinese man fighting for #Ukraine has reportedly been killed.

29 year old Peng Chenliang had previously been arrested in China for anti-Russia posts on this platform. He hoped to link up with Taiwanese soldiers in Ukraine but died during shelling.

#RussiaIsCollapsing

Moscow tries to hide an economic crisis with dodgy official figures, showing a fall in inflation to 8.16% & food prices also rising less quickly

No Russians agree. Other official data show prices ⬆️0.3% this wk alone & a #Russia think tank predicts disaster Image

Three sponsors this evening after just one in the previous 48 hours, so very welcome and deep thank yous to these fine people:
@PatriciaBossy "Bob S" and @angielewis

You are all my heroes for sponsoring honest, independent, fact-checked journalism 💙💛
And finally for today's thread - surprising good news.

The early drone attack has been repelled and there have been no new UAVs seen in #Ukraine for around two hours now.

Maybe it will be a peaceful night for all Ukrainians🤞
Good night and thank you for reading💕

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image

It's Monday, the second day of the 2nd month.
Day 1440 of Russia's illegal full invasion of its sovereign neighbour.

As we approach another round of "peace talks", Russia seems to be preparing by committing an ever growing number of sickening war crimes.

This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday was one of those days when I was repeatedly sickened by the actions of the monsters from Moscow.

The "energy truce" broken by attacking a bus of civilian miners heading to work. A medical building inc. a maternity unit hit, and more
Review here
Monday is a day of mourning in Dnipropetrovsk region following the deliberate targeting of a bus in the small town of Ternivka, near Pavlohrad.

16 people were killed. Another 14 are in hospital, seven of whom are in a serious condition.

Saturday 27 December 2025 is Day 1403 of Russia's war of choice.

The day began with missile attacks on Ukraine shortly after midnight and the terrorism continued with drone strikes, may into residential areas, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of the damage.

Here's THE daily thread
Here's the link to yesterday's thread, which started with Russian murders, missiles on streets in Kharkiv and ended with the missile attack on Kyiv.

But there were also 'direct sanctions' taken by Ukraine on war criminals and military targets:

News is still coming in from Kyiv especially after the awful bombardment. Mayor of the city, @Vitaliy_Klychko has just issued an update saying 28 people have been injured, with 13 hospitalised

Although the city's had the air raid warning lifted, it's still affecting Kyiv region Image

Christmas Eve is another milestone as we mark the latest 100 days of war

Yes, it's Day 1400 of Ukraine's fight for its existence.
Coming up:
Zelenskyy accepts peace plan but are we really nearer peace?
A twist in Moscow's 2nd car bomb in 24 hours.
And all the news yet to happen
A very late start today - I apologise but it's Christmas time with things to do, places to go and also my body demanding enough sleep to survive!

So we start as usual with the throwback to yesterday for you to catch up, which included car bomb #2..

The seemingly random attack on police officers in Moscow last night, may have been a Ukraine targeted attack.

Two "traffic officers" died overnight on the same street where a Lt Gen was eliminated the day before.
Now it's reported the dead were in Ukraine and tortured civilians Image

This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread, with all the important news from, and relevant to, Ukraine in one handy place.

It's Day 1385 and I've still never missed a day of fact checking, analysing and reporting every aspect of the defence against Russia's illegal war.
Yesterday a lot of talking behind the scenes, but politicians were broadly tight-lipped on progress.

Russia did make more small gains on the frontline, but we also found a cat with burned whiskers + how Russian pilots' head-tennis went disastrously wrong
Pres Zelenskyy's whirlwind tour continues, arriving in Rome this morning to meet the Pope at Castle Gandolfo.

At Villa Barberini, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed by the vice-regent of the papal household, Augustinian Father Edward Daniang Daleng.
